How Howard Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 98684 in Vancouver, Washington (WA) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. That warmer climate lets homeowners plant Japanese maples that struggle in your zone 5. For your cart, that means you won't find the same laceleaf maples here. Your cold winters push you toward hardier ornamentals like the Rise 'N Shine redbud.

ZIP 37350 in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee (TN) falls in zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. Its milder winters extend the flowering season for many trees. That gap changes the local shortlist to include redbuds and dogwoods that bloom earlier. Your zone 5 still supports flowering redbuds, but you may wait longer for spring color.

ZIP 78202 in San Antonio, Texas (TX) is zone 9a with winter lows 20 to 25 degrees F. Warm winters limit cool-season privacy trees like junipers. In practice, buyers here lean toward broadleaf evergreens for screening. In your zone, junipers like Hetzii Columnaris stay a reliable choice for year-round privacy.

For your yard in Howard, zone 5 means you can plant junipers, redbuds, and cold-hardy fruits - varieties that thrive where winters get truly cold.
